Rivendell, home of Elrond and the Last Homely House.
The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, is the trilogy that jumpstarted the entire fantasy genre and made the public aware that not all fantasy novels were fairy tales for children. As a philologist, Tolkien made many languages for his make-believe world of Middle Earth, and also created a vast history of his world. Because of these two aspects and his matter-of-fact, vivid writing style, the novels are very realistic. The only slight imperfections I see to his novels are the less active roles of women and the occaisionally shallowly developed characters, though these by no means detract from the trilogy's value.
